Icons for uninstalled apps still show up on Linux Mint
I'm running WineHQ on Linux Mint and decided to uninstall some applications I no longer use anymore. I did this accessing the menu by typing "winecfg" in the terminal then selecting said programs and uninstalling them. When I go to my apps list the icons still show up, but won't launch the program because the files for it have been deleted. I confirmed this by going through the file system and checking that the files aren't there, which they are not. If it helps the exact version of Mint I'm using is Linux Mine 19.3 Cinnamon. Any ideas on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I'm not sure, but I think these shortcuts are from ~/.local/share/applications/wine..
Remove the .desktop files you don't want.
The WineHQ FAQ has some more information about removing applications:
